A fun Halloween treat! Always good to see Vinnie in his element. Er... so to speak. I mean, things with Liu Xi didn't quite get that far. Not that we saw, in any event.

I do have one more Vinnie/Liu Xi story in mind, but not until I've cleared some of my other multi-part tales. Then it'll be time for "The DeSoth Family Dinner", in which Vinnie has to take Liu Xi home to meet the folks.

Quote:

Great job establishing a creepy location and keeping the whole story atmospheric. I also like how you break down the differences between Liu Xi's areas of expertise, which are grounded in the natural world, and Vinnie's, which are decidedly not. It makes them a good team... no wonder he's so sweet on her. Plus, who doesn't love dry socks on a wet and chilly night?

I think the key to these two person teams is for each to react differently to situations and for each to bring something unique to the partnership.

Good stuff!

Jolly good.

        Galapagos sounds like a 90s X-villain. he probably had a lot of chains and spikes on his kneepads, elbowpads and pouches. (no text) · HH thinks he has a few issues with him in, but they never fully explained how he was related to Scott Summers · Sun Nov 01, 2009 at 05:47:52 am EST

  - As the saying goes, "What a TWIST!" Actually, though, this story contained several twists. :) (no text) · CrazySugarFreakBoy! · Sun Nov 01, 2009 at 02:53:47 am EST
